This post by Nick Graham, Formlabs' chief revenue officer highlights the set of software releases that I spearheaded over the last 18 months. I originally proposed this work to CEO Max Lobovsky in November 2022, and Max approved my proposal with enthusiasm. This program started small. I wrote all the code for the first major release corresponding to the first 30% speed improvement myself. After this success, leadership doubled down and allocated some of Formlabs brightest minds to make further improvements. We formed a small interdisciplinary team. We had two software engineers (including me), three print process engineers, and two outstanding technicians. This group epitomized the ideals of agile software development. We failed fast, prototyping dozens of concepts, and only shipping the precious few that showed genuine promise. In addition to the speed improvements that Nick Graham mentioned, these are some more subtle improvements bundled into these software releases: 1. Through software improvements alone we improved the tensile strength and elongation at break of our printed parts. Parts with thin cross sections are more durable now, compared to the Fuse 1+ at launch time. 2. We improved the the fine feature resolution. Details like text and sharp corners were muddled by the previous printing process. With our new process these features are sharp and legible. 3. We eliminated several categories of printing failures stemming from sensor irregularities, solving yield issues for high value accounts. Proposing, implementing and shipping these improvements has been exhilarating. I'm proud of my team's work and I'm proud of Formlabs for continuing to invest heavily in the products that we've already shipped.
